Jack Rodwell is about to end Manchester United's hopes of signing him by inking a new deal at Everton, according to a report from The Sun.

The 19-year-old, rated as one of the most promising young players in England currently, can play in midfield or defence.

Rodwell has four years to run on his current contract but Toffees boss David Moyes wants to fend off interest from other clubs by boosting the youngster's salary.

He will also offer new deals to Leighton Baines, Mikel Arteta and Steven Pienaar in order to keep them at Goodison Park, according to the report.
